There is an epidemic across North America today of Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. Most people do not understand why this epidemic is happening, and they do not know why these diseases are so rampant. I would like to share with you the main reason we are having this very serious problem.

Many people today use artificial sweeteners in their tea or coffee. They do this because the ads they see on TV tell them that sugar is bad for their health. This is absolutely true. Sugar is toxic to us, but, what most people use as a replacement for sugar is much more deadly.

I am talking about Aspartame. It is the cause of the epidemic that was mentioned above. Aspartame is an extremely toxic chemical that is produced by a chemical company called Monsanto.

Aspartame is being marketed around the world as a sugar substitute and is found in all diet soft drinks, such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. It is also found in artificial sweeteners such as NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful; and it is used in many other products as a sugar replacement.

Aspartame is marketed as a diet product, but it is not a diet product at all. In fact, it will cause you to GAIN weight because it makes you crave carbohydrates.

Causing you to gain weight is only a very small part of what Aspartame does. Aspartame is a toxic chemical that changes the brain’s chemistry. It can and does cause severe seizures. This chemical changes the dopamine level in the brain, and it is particularly deadly for anyone suffering from Parkinson’s diseases.

Aspartame is extremely poisonous, and here is why. One of the toxic ingredients of Aspartame is wood alcohol. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in the Aspartame is converted to formaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.

Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic – which are very deadly toxins. The only difference is… Formaldehyde kills quietly, and it takes a little longer. And, in the process of killing people, it causes all kinds of neurological problems.

There are 92 documented symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning leading to coma and death. The majority of these symptoms are neurological, because the Aspartame attacks and destroys the nervous system. Some of the symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning are covered below.

One of these symptoms is Lupus, which has become almost as rampant as Multiple Sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.

When someone develops Lupus as a result of using Aspartame, they usually do not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. They then continue to use Aspartame, which aggravates the Lupus to such a degree that it sometimes becomes life threatening.

When people finally get off the Aspartame, the severity of the Lupus decreases.

It is generally believed that once you develop Lupus, you will have it for the rest of your life, but this is not so. Lupus can be defeated with some very special treatment.

Aspartame Poisoning is also very often diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. The methanol toxicity mimics Multiple Sclerosis, and therefore, people are being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when in fact they do not have it. Multiple Sclerosis is not a death sentence, where Methanol Toxicity usually is.

When those who suffer from Aspartame Poisoning stop using Aspartame, most of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis disappear. There are many cases where someone’s vision has returned, and even their hearing has returned.

We have a very serious problem here. More and more people who are heavy Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers are being diagnosed with MS.

This also applies to other diseases. If you are using Aspartame and you suffer from Fibromyalgia symptoms such as spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, you probably do not have Fibromyalgia, you very likely have Aspartame Poisoning.

At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know the cause of the epidemic in MS and Lupus. It is believed that the phenylalanine in the Aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and depletes Serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage, and violence.

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, “We are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison”.

Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. There are many cases where physicians believe they have a patient with retinopathy, when in fact, the problem is caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many diabetics who have used Aspartame have died.

There are many recorded cases where diabetics have switched from Saccharin to an Aspartame product, and many of these people have eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss, and eventually coma and death.

Two prominent Doctors, Dr. Blaylock and Dr. H. J. Roberts, have written books on Aspartame Poisoning. Dr. Blaylock’s book is entitled: “EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS”. Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on Aspartame Poisoning, has written a book entitled “DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE”.

Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when Aspartame was first marketed and used. He said that his diabetic patients who used Aspartame presented memory loss, confusion, and severe vision loss”. The methanol in the Aspartame converts to Formaldehyde in the retina of the eye, and causes people to go blind.

Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.

Dr. Roberts tells how Aspartame Poisoning is escalating Alzheimer’s disease. Women of 30 years of age are being admitted that have developed Alzheimer’s disease as a result of using Aspartame.

Aspartame Disease is partially the cause of what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm health problems (Gulf War Syndrome). The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of an Aspartame product.

Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember that heat can liberate the methanol from the Aspartame at 86 degrees F). These diet drinks sat on pallets in the 120-degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time. The service men and women drank them all day long, and all of their symptoms are identical to Aspartame Poisoning.

According to Dr. Roberts, another serious problem is that consuming Aspartame during pregnancy can cause birth defects. When the Aspartame attacks the nervous system it does not allow the unborn child to develop properly.

Aspartame consumption has also been shown to lead to cancer. In the original lab tests on Aspartame, animals that were given Aspartame developed brain tumors. The phenylalanine breaks down into DXP, which is a brain tumor agent.

How serious is this Aspartame Poisoning? A mother who had a child on NutraSweet was told to get her child off the product. The child was having grand mal seizures every day. The mother spoke to her doctor, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the child off the NutraSweet. They are still trying to convince the mother that the Aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time you take a grand mal seizure victim off of Aspartame, the seizures stop.

Here is the major problem. Congressional Hearings were held when Aspartame was originally approved for use in 100 different products. Since that initial hearing, there have been two more hearings to try to ban this product, but to no avail. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.

This list of 100 has now expanded to where there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the patent has expired. Also, Aspartame is now available in over 90 countries around the world.

There is a bit of hope. Stevia, a sweet herb which helps in the metabolism of sugar, and which is proving to be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. had outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to Monsanto.

I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows exactly how deadly their product is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. They have the contacts and the power to keep their product on the market. Public health means nothing to these people, it’s all about making money.

Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of Aspartame. The bill would also have instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death.

We ask that you help to get the word out about Aspartame. Print this article and distribute it to everyone you know. There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, PLEASE let them know this information. You might want to print it out, hand it to your friends, or fax it to people who are not online.

Young people drink a lot of Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, and because of this, they are the most susceptible to Aspartame Poisoning. Please let your children know about the toxins in these drinks.

A large number of adults use Nutrasweet, Equal, or Spoonful. They also need to be warned of the dangers in those products.

And, very importantly, do not consume anything that has Aspartame in it. If it says “Sugar Free” on the label, you know that it contains Aspartame. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

One other thing, and this is for your own benefit. Go to the Search Engine “Google” and do a search using the search word “Aspartame”. You will be surprised by what you will find.

This explains a lot of the issues I have been having for years. About 2 months ago I cut out my beloved Coke Zero because I heard it made you gain weight. That’s the only reason, but I haven’t had any pain or diarreah since. It’s starting to make sense.

So sad that sooooo many people are so stupid and blind to the truth when it’s directly in front of them and only want to really believe it when they are possibly about to die! Plus for those that want references don’t you think these people that know the real truth could be victims of these people that are creating these toxic chemicals. Can you just imagine how much money and power they have to keep their “Silent Killer” a secret!!!! They probably would go as far as killing someone if it meant it was going to hurt their pocket book!! I mean get real people we have more info today at our fingertips if you would only take the time and look. In todays economony a customer doesn’t mean anything to these BIG companies only the numbers matter to them!!!!

For the past 10 years I have had headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, issues with my vision, issues with my hearing, prickling sensation in my legs and face. I have been to doctors for 10 years, had every test is the world done all which came back negative. The last doctor I went to asked if I drank a lot of diet drinks. I did. Always a diet soda or diet drink. Then he informed me about aspartame. It was been 1 year for me now without aspartame and I haven’t had a problem since. I’m just shocked at what aspartame can do to you body and angry how it made me miserable for 10 years!!

Actually, Vitamin Water does indeed contain Aspartame. I began researching 5 years ago. You can’t rely on fundamentally simplistic sites (i.e snopes.com) as a true source to chance your health or well being on. . Dig deeper. 80% of all complaints filed to FDA are on Aspartame. This is why we have an epidemic ADD/ADHD…wake up!

What people don’t seem to umderstand is this is kuat one of MANY food additives that are killing us. Do you honestly think the fact that these types of additives (fsgs, msg, autolyzed, hydrolyzed, etc) being added to more and more processed foods (including almost ALL chewing gum – even that with sugar as well, and breath mints!), along with the rise in disease are mere coincidence? I’ll say it because I probably won’t libe very much longer because I have been poisoned – it’s population control. All of it is. Only if we care about each other can it be stopped. So much apathy amd blindness. We’ve allowed this to happen. Only we can stop it. Check labels and stop buying their murderous crap!!! And spread the word!

Are u people blind? Why cant u believe that this IS happening? It is a known fact that worldwide they are trying to Depopulate the Earth!! Wake up!!!! If it is NOT a natural substance it should not go in your mouth!!

I recently began to research this after noticing the possibility of aspartame causing many issues with me. I do think this article does go a bit far as to say it will kill a person, but I do agree with some statements. I have suffered many seizures, unexplained for 15 years. I have symptoms of Fibromyalgia including tinnitus, numbness, vertigo, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and memory loss. Finding this information has been great for me. Giving up everything that is sugar free.

I came across excerpts from this article on Facebook several times. I LOVE diet soda, so didn’t want to believe any of it. For the past six months I’ve been suffering with muscular leg pain, and for more years than I can remember have been suffering with pain in my right hip. I was at the end of my rope trying to figure out the pain in my leg. I’ve gone off my cholesterol meds recently to eliminate that possibility, but no relief. Saw this on Facebook again last Thursday and decided to give up aspartame to see if it would help. Well, it’s Monday morning and I’m pain free. No pain in my legs, and I can cross my right leg over my left, which I haven’t been able to do for years. Can’t believe it worked that fast. I didn’t want it to be true, because I really miss my diet soda, but I feel so much better.

I have suffered from this…I ended up in the ER because Doctors thought I was having a stroke…..After I stopped drinking Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke (I love them both) I feel unbelivably better…No more joint pain…I thought I had gout for the last 10 years, turned out to be the Diet Drinks…

Fabulous article. Thanks for sharing. Are you familiar with the case of Diane Fleming? She is serving a 50 year sentence (without parole) for poisoning her husband because the autopsy showed suspicious levels of methanol in his system. He drank 10-12 diet cokes every day for 20 years and had just added Gatorade mixed with Creatine 2 days before he died. I am advocating for Diane’s release/pardon! If you can think of any way to further my fight for a pardon please let me know! Aspartame is killing America slowly but surely.

Marie – Please google Snopes debunked. Please find out who funds them (start with George Soros) and has a major influence on their forum … you will be surprised! Snopes is no longer a reliable source to verify anything concerning the corrupt system, and as a matter of fact OWES their existance to this very system. The research behind the dangers of Aspartame is plentyful and accurate … it is no longer even a question of “is it dangerous” but more like why after being banned twice, is it even on the market !!!

Just because someone enjoys diet sodas doesn’t mean their point about citing sources is invalid. What an odd, ignorant leap to make. The conditions under which aspartame can become dangerous are being grossly exaggerated and quite a lot of facts are being left out here. Check out Snopes for the real story: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp.

Aspartame definitely gives me migraines, make my hand shake terribly and I have been diagnosed by 3 MD’s with fibromyalgia. I’d been a heavy diet Pepsi drinker for years. I’ve also read Several articles that aspartame use causes the mimicking of multiple sclerosis!

Obviously the above comments are from avid diet coke/pepsi drinkers. I think this is a well written article & if you feel that every sentance needs to be referenced.. just go online & do 1 minute of research on aspartame… there are many articles with credible sources to choose from. What is important here – making people think twice about what they are ingesting. We can not trust the FDA! That has been proven time & time again. Aspartame is a billion dollar business. It doesn’t help that everytime there is an informative article on the health hazzards.. someone is there to squash it & create confusion. AS IF aspartame is healthy! How could it be?

My thoughts exactly. There needs to be sources cited for this if it hopes to appear credible. I would also choose my phrasing more carefully. Talk to any herbalist or naturopath and they will explain the possibly liability issues surrounding some of the statements.

Also went straight to the end to see if this was a credible source … bit strange that his website has been removed!! It helps to make people aware of potential risk but when this is not backed up by any credible evidence, it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt!

It would make your article ever so much more credible if you provided sources for your facts. Even the author’s website is unavailable, and the two “experts” quoted have only titles of “Doctor,” with no credentials or affiliated institutions/organizations.

You say that “Methanol Toxicity usually is [a death sentence].” In the very next paragraph, you say “When those who suffer from Aspartame Poisoning stop using Aspartame, most of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis disappear.” How do the symptoms disappear if they are caused by methanol poisoning? Why haven’t all those people with MS died, if “The methanol toxicity mimics Multiple Sclerosis”?
